Default A morning of Stroms

SB I-5 around 128th in S. Everett about 7am

Black Wee with rider also in black. Looked brand new (no dirt or Farkles).

NB 405 Swamp Creek interchange with I-5 around 7:05 am. I think grey Strom with rider in hi-viz. (It was a quick look as I was coming out of from underneath the overpass).

I was caged this morning. The Orangesicle is all loaded up and ready to head out on Wed morning for our ride the West Rally in Boise.

BTW - Still looking for folks to join us -- right now we have a shifting number of 4 to 5 riders at various points along our way.

Let me know -- and/or see the West Rally post with the meet up info and map of the route we plan to take.

Saw a dark blue DL1000 this morning around 6:50am entering I-405 South at the Bothell (527) entrance. I was on the Blue DL650 that entered right next to you.

Highway 12 is interesting at some parts. The crossing of White Pass is scenic, and some parts of it through eastern WA are good. I prefer passing over the pass on WA410 which you can pick up off of 12 just West of Yakima. Once you get over Chinook Pass, look for WA123 which goes over Cayuse pass and joins route 12 again just southeast of Rainier.

Spotted Grantizzle on 164th just East of Wal-Mart yesterday around 12pm riding his DL1000 in the rain. You were wearing a high vis vest. Wife and I were in her Outback heading over to Low&Silent's house.

Mid week ( Wednesday I believe) my 21 hr old son met 2 Strom pilots and a couple BMW riders near Jakes in Snohomish. He said they were " cool guys". This old man was working <sigh>
